Bailly Lapierre

Bailly, is a village in Chablis, Burgundy, and is birthplace of the AOC Crémant de Bourgogne. Since 1972, in an underground quarry providing unique natural conditions, they have produced sparkling wines that belong to a world of enchantment. They come from superb noble grapes, hand-harvested then vinified and patiently matured. The wines, sprung from the bedrock yet finely chiselled, carry one away with their intense, truly mineral freshness... The caves Bailly Lapierre groups 430 winegrowers who provide the grapes for making Crémant de Bourgogne. Average annual production is 25,000 hectolitres (1hl=100 litres) or nearly 3.5 million bottles (some 290,000 cases). A permanent stock of 5 million bottles ensures that the quality of our Crémants de Bourgogne remains constant. The winegrowers at Bailly Lapierre grow and use the whole range of Burgundy’s finest grape varieties: Pinot Noir and Gamay for the reds, Chardonnay and Aligoté for their whites.
